To culminate a three-week fundraising course for food businesses, the Food Craft Institute is partnering with The Mixing Bowl, Slow Money Northern California, and Food Funded to host Food.Fund.Fest – an entrepreneurial pitch competition for producers of quality food held in conjunction with the 2015 Eat Real Festival.

Each pitch will feature one food business, showcasing what they were able to learn and practice during the course. A panel of food industry and funding experts will judge each pitch, awarding the most viable business with a prize package that will assist ongoing funding efforts.
